Tony Adams is out of Arsenal's Champions League trip to face Panathinaikos in Greece after manager Arsene Wenger's gamble to recall him for the Premiership clash with Bolton on Saturday backfired.

Skipper Adams has not been named in the Arsenal party which flies out to Athens today for tomorrow night's Group C clash with the Greek side who have won both their opening two matches.

It is a blow for Wenger, who passed Adams fit to play on Saturday after three matches out with a foot injury. The former England defender looked well off the pace when Bolton substitute Michael Ricketts scored the late goal that earned his side a surprise point and kept them top of the Premiership until Leeds United's win over Derby.

Wenger reported after the match that Adams, 34, was suffering with cramp, but it is foot and groin problems which have ruled him out against Panathinaikos tomorrow night.

Arsenal are already without new centre back Sol Campbell, the former Tottenham star who has a hamstring injury and is likely to miss England's final World Cup qualifier against Greece at Old Trafford a week on Saturday.
